ATEX – Radio for hazardous environments

What is an ATEX radio?

ATEX - a technique based on limiting energy, electrical and thermal, to a level below that’s required to ignite a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture - Safety is critical when working in a hazardous environment. It is essential, in certain circumstances, that communication equipment is intrinsically safe.

Here is an example of some hazardous environments:

Offshore

Oil and Gas exploration

Production platforms

Petrochemical

Oil refineries

Mine

Other sites where there is a high risk of potential explosions.

ATEX Digital (DMR) Tetra radio can be used with BA (Breathe apparatus) which is commonly used by the Fire and Rescue Service.
